About:
In Part I of The Elegant Universe, “The Edge of Knowledge,” Greene introduces the central problem of modern physics: the incompatibility of Einstein’s theory of general relativity with quantum mechanics. He then lists the physical curiosities—properties of the motion of light, gravity, and the behavior of particles at the subatomic level—that have prevented physicists from establishing a single coherent theory for how the universe works. For most of the twentieth century, physicists contented themselves with describing either the most small-scale or the most large-scale workings of the cosmos, but never both simultaneously. At the end of this section, Greene describes both the objectives and the promise of superstring theory, which attempts to merge the laws of general relativity with those of quantum mechanics. There really isn't a setting or main characters in The Elegant Universe.
Special:
Well there are many things that are special about this book but one of the things is that Greene explains a lot on a simple,much more easier level for people like me to understand. Also it compares quantum phisics and Albert Einstein theory and how they are different but some parts agree with each other.
